I Made A Thing

If you've been reading this blog for years you'll know that I'm way into indie tabletop RPG's - in particular the ones that some people call 'story games', RPG's that emphasize collaborative storytelling and acting in character. I've tried my hand at making some and haven't created anything noteworthy...

Until now!

After years of working on this one, off and on, I've finished Superhuman - a story game about troubled superheroes. It's inspired by the darker R-rated comics of the late eighties and nineties. You might not believe that I've been working on it so long, because after all that time I've boiled it down into a single one-page playbook. Pretty proud of that. Also pretty proud of the mechanics.

It's GM-less, dice-less, and you can get it here for free: superhumanrpg.com. Because I make story games just for fun.
